It's not "all of a sudden"...it's a carefully orchestrated program in action. Connect the dots.For some reason the USPS all of a sudden doesn't like people shipping anything gun related. The boxes almost always get torn up.

If the hat fits, wear it.<puttin' on the tin foil hat>
Not really. I can't get parts delivered to the shop in a timely manner, can't get chicken after 8pm, and my free 2 day shipping on Amazon is more like 5 days now, no matter what I order. And it's all more expensive now. None of that has anything to do with shooting.If the hat fits, wear it.
There is no logical excuse I can come up with that would explain why you can't buy brass, primers, powder or bullets by any manufacturer from any supplier for say, 7mm magnum, other than production interference. Too broad a spectrum to claim employee shortages, material shortage, manufacturer issues, etc. Nobody is hoarding 7mm ammo.
I'll have to figure out tomorrow if everything is there and not damaged. Between working 64hrs a week and family issues I only unboxed it and laid everything out to start assembly. The frame is dark gray and scratched up really bad which I dont care but I am saying its defenitly a return item.Stuff happens with any business; the real question that I have is how did Midway USA handle the OP’s issue?
I know someone who ordered 1k bullets and the bullet box wasnt taped and opened inside the box and he lost quite a bit when they fell out of a hole in the corner of the box. I have recently got boxes that have no filler and stuff just falls around inside it.
If I am not mistaken Larry Potter simply decided it was time to hang-up the front man apron and bow-out gracefully. They offered him a truckload of money for the company ... all of us would have done the same thing imho. He still makes appearances every now and then.Their return policy is more restrictive than Brownell's but OK. With all of my bashing I still find Midway to be a more than acceptable source of supplies.
What happened to Larry?
Customer Service rep told me one time last year that they were having staffing issues and everyone was bone tired and worn out at the time.
(Midway just sold me some primers)

The nerve of those rascals!
So much for their "notify me" policy. I never heard doodly squat about primers being available.
I had notifications set for every brand and every size except bench rest, shotgun and small rifle.CCI SPP were in stock for a while. Maybe it was a different brand you had notifications set for?
Indeed, it's not.That is not really cricket...........................
They sent me an email today, offering among other things, black powder conversion cylinders at prices more than I can get them from Taylor's and Howell's for. Wasn't impressed by that in the least.Of the internet retailers on my list Midway has turned into one of the most expensive. I still occasionally buy from them, but it is not often. I do like their "in stock" notifications, but if they have it in stock most of the others have it also and at a significantly better price.
No, but why would factories dedicate time and resources to producing 7mm ammo and components if others are in much higher demand? It seems that brass/copper/lead is going to the ammo and components that are in higher demand.If the hat fits, wear it.

There is a shortage of pretty much everything right now, including labor, which is leading to delays and availability issues across the board.
The situation is definitely being taken advantage of, and the labor shortage is manufactured in the sense that lots of people have no incentive to find work if they can stay home and make the same or more. It doesn't seem that 2A stuff is being specifically targeted in this, as it looks like other industries are suffering much more. But honestly there is no telling.That’s all true but the question is, is it happening organically or is the response to the plandemic a way to mandate BS to cause shortages to save the planet to cause equality to bring on a new “system” of losers wanting free crap? No tinfoil hat to see that that is exactly what’s happening. It goes double for anything gun related since 2A is the root of all evil according to some people.
